Under sail...

My bags showed up, so we left Tonga a little after 1330 local time Saturday. So, here we are, sailing our arses off in around 15 kts of wind making well over 7kts over ground... Heeled over about 25 degrees to starborad, and I'm inside typing and trying not to puke all over Morgan's laptop.
Weather has been pretty good, although the winds were a little light coming out of NukuAlofa, so a long motor-sail was in order... but at least our batteries got nice and topped up.
Winds are mostly cooperating for Mostly Harmless, and we have been able to maintain a rhumb line course to the Minerva Reefs.
We caught a nice little tuna yesterday; looking forward to cooking that little bad boy up.
Anyhow, hope all is well back home; next report should be from Minerva.
Peter.
